Not being funny but looking at his Bio id say he was a northern kung fu guy and that was his background
He lists 30 years in northern kung fu under master Chaan Tzu Sadaat,who he still considers his master, 2 years in CLF (2006-08) and then he joined ATT and started Thai Boxing, he also has rankings in TKD and Okinawan karate. Chinese stylist for sure, strong CLF background….narghhhh
Yes he mostly trained in some northern style but trained at our school and my kung fu brother's school for a bit. I believe one of his sponsors sells CLF shirts and used him in a promo hence the "clf background".
He is an MMA fighter now I believe and trains with American Top Team.
I'd actually tend to agree with this assessment.
My initial thought was: "well that's not muay thai"
-low, squat stance with active footwork
-leg kicks with no set up, the skip low kick is kind of tell-tale chinese
-doesn't turn over the hips on the round kick
-combos with a lead push kick at the end
-the "loose" guard
Next thought was: "maybe he's boxing? nah..."
-no extension on the jab
-no head movement in the first round
I didn't see much in there that made me think "CLF".
He did do some stuff common among sanshou folks - the bouncing is a lot like faking a shot, active footwork, sanshou people like the lead leg skip low kick, the "loose" guard, seemed to like to clinch up...
Sanshou tends to have a heavy northern influence & that combo with the push kick is pretty northern.
-Jack Dempsey ch1 pg1 Championship FightingWhat would happen if a year-old baby fell from a fourth-floor window onto the head of a burly truck driver, standing on the sidewalk?
It's practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious. He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck.
Even an innocent little baby can become a dangerous missile WHEN ITS BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION.
what you guys expect to bust out Sup Ji Kau Da LOL
A fighter being critqued by non-fighters
I fight...
fought a muay thai smoker in april at saekson's gym and shooting for master's division golden gloves amateur boxing next year.
I'll probably take another official stab at muay thai and/or sanshou/sanda after that if things work out right.
and yeah, it wouldn't hurt if there was a gwa choy - sow choy combo... or if he sat on his jabs like a proper charp choy....
The fighters from Oz (Chan family as well as Lacy Buk Sing progeny) and the Chicago CLF folks still manage to have some CLF flavor to their stuff...
I pointed out his obvious Chinese flavor not to put him down, but more that I can see his influences, and I respect them. Just saying that he's missing that flair that I typically see from CLF cats. I imagine he'd do even better in san shou than muay thai.
Cool that the guy's training with ATT now.

whats your fight record?
no one critiqued him we simply said its stretching it a bit to call him a CLF guy when he has 2 years in that art, 6 years at ATT and 30 years in long fist
there are enough CLF guys fighting out there we dont need to steal someone from another style as our own....we are not wing chun lol
